Resizing a current PDF file

How can I change a PDF setting from 8.5"w x 11h" to 8.125"w x 11.125"h with Trim as 7.875"w x 10.875"h and live area 7.375"w.10.375"h on a current Full-Page Bleed Ad?  Today is February 3, 2011 and I need a response ASAP.
Thank you,
Darren

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara

  • Resizing Multiple Page PDF file For OCR

    On my Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with OSX 10.8.5, I am using either Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Professional 10  to assemble PDF documents from a significant number of legacy page and map images (tiff). Unfortunately, it intreprets the tiff files to create a document that's about 36.7" by 50.06" in page size. Unfortunately, this size is too large to run through the OCR. I have tried print to a pdf on both Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Professional 10. When I attempt to it tells me I can't save to a pdf from print. Neither the tiffs nor PDFs that I made from them are password protected.
    The suggested solutions, which I have found, do not solve my problem. Needless to say, simply printing them at a reduced size does not solve the problem of not being able to to run them through the OCR. Also, I have numerous pages, which makes resizing them individually in Photoshop simply too time consuming as a solution. Finally, neither I nor the company I work for have the money for third-party software that costs very much, over 80 to 100 dollars simply to solve this single problem.
    How can I scale down the page size of either a multipage PDF file or as a batch of individual files within either Acrobat Professional 9 or 10 so I can run them through the optical character reader (OCR)? 
    Alternatively, is there software (Photoshop?) that I can use to batch resize the tiff files?

    Bill@VT asked:
    "Is the problem the size or the resolution? You are saying it is too large
    to run through OCR, but I am not clear what the "large" refers to."
    Being 36.07 inches by 50.06 inches, the image file it is too large in page size (inches) to run through the OCR. When I tried to OCR it, I get the following error message:
    "Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because:
    This page is larger than the maximum page size of 45 inches by 45 inches"
    Also asked:
    1. "When you say you tried to print, was that to the Adobe PDF printer?
    Yes, that was to the Adobe PDF printer.
    2. "Did you set the printer properties to compress the file to a smaller size?"
    No, I did not set the printer to compress the file in order to make the file size smaller in terms of bytes.
    3. "Have you tried printing the PDF you created to a new PDF using the shrink to fit option?"
    Yes, I set the printer to creat a new PDF using the shrink to fit option in order to create a file that was smaller in terms of page size (inches) instead of file size (bytes). When I did it, I received an error message that stated:
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead choose File >Save."

  • Associating my current PDF files to Acrobat 10 from Acrobat 9

    I am here in the forum because the stinkers at Adobe Tech Support said they could only help with CURRENT products. That's poor customer service.  I'm needing to point all my PDF files to my new Acrobat X Standard that I installed.  I removed the Acrobat 9.0 but when I go to Control Panel --> Default Programs --> Set Associations, and I choose .pdf and then click Change Program -- I do not see Acrobat X as an option to point my files to.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Update:  I finally got it done by searching on google.  You can open the Acrobat program, go to Edit --> Preferences --> General and click the Select Default PDF Handler button and designate it that way. 

    Hi orrery66 ,
    Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums. Yes, the way you chose it is also a way to select the file association for it.
    However, you can also set the file association by, choose the file>Right click>Open with>choose default program>select Acrobat from the list.
    If, Acrobat is not in the list, click browse and select Acrobat.ex from the install directory (E.G.C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat)
    Thanks,

  • What about my current PDF files?...

    Hi,
    A couple of questions:
    1. I've dozens of PDF books bought in O'reilly and Amazon book stores. Is there a way to dump my PDF files to my future iPad through iTunes or other apps?
    2. How the gift card works?... I mean, if the Apple store for iPad isn't available in Belgium; should I register an USA-Apple store account's in order to buy apps with my gift card?
    Thank you for your comments.

    One more vote for Goodreader. I have it and have dumped about 50 ebooks and about the same number of manuals in Pdf format on the iPad. Display quality is excellent.
    To use it, simply download and install the app from the app store, then when the iPad is connected to the system, launch iTunes, go to the apps tab, and scroll down to the window which indicates which apps can sync documents directly to the iPad. You can then click the 'add' button to navigate to the file on your system, or just drag and drop the file into the space in iTunes, and it will automatically sync to the iPad.
    Goodreader can also handle other file types, including Word documents as long as they are not too long. Well worth .99c!

  • Open a file, then close current pdf file

    Acrobat X
    XI Pro
    We have some renamed documents, but other documents link to the old names.  To solve this I created a Word document with the text : OldDoc is now NewDoc.  NewDoc is a hyperlink to NewDoc on the LAN.  I then created a pdf from the Word document.
    Clicking the link opens NewDoc, as it should, but I would like to close OldDoc after opening NewDoc.  I had expected that I could add execution of a menu item (File>>Close), but that only causes Acrobat to "blink", and OldDoc remains open.  Apparently the Close command is being carried out on the new document rather than the document in which the command is located.
    If I try File>>Exit instead I get a message "Since one of the action [sic] results in closing a doc, the rest of the action will not be executed.  Do you want to continue?"  Then NewDoc opens.  If I click OK, OldDoc closes.  If I click Cancel, both remain open.  The result is acceptable, but of course the pop-up message is not.
    If I reverse the order (close OldDoc, then try to open NewDoc) it just closes OldDoc, as I expected, but I figured it was worth a try since it doesn't work to open NewDoc first.
    For what the program cost this simple action should be possible.  What am I missing?

    Never heard about the crash and that does not sound normal. Be sure to do the updates to Acrobat in case that resolves the issue. You might also check the font settings in the settings file and check to ignore the error if the font can not be embedded and Distiller should use what it considers to be the closest system font.

  • Resize action with pdf

    I'm currently having problems with the batch feature regarding pdf files which I can't figure out. My main task is to automatically resize several (50+) pdf files in a folder, save them for web as jpg and then close the original file without saving it. I've tried to make an action for this, but I only end up getting errors or Photoshop trying to overwrite the same file all the time when saving the images.
    I did manage to make a successful action which worked as batch if I had all the files open in Photoshop, but that's not really what I'm after since I then have to open all the 50+ files first manually. What I would want is for Photoshop to go through all the pdf files in my source folder - resize them - save for web - close original image wihtout saving.
    I'm currently using Photoshop CS2 if that's any help.
    Is there anyone who can help? A step-by-step solution would be greatly appreciated!

    well, you're doing something wrong because that option should fix the problem with overwriting the same file over and over again

  • Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

    Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
    He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
    He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
    So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
    Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
    Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
    Thanks heaps.

    Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

  • Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

    One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
    They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
    The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
    But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
    When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
    Any idea what happen there???
    Thanks a lot

    "Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
    Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

  • Why is the pdf files will not download.

    When we try to download a file the only PDF related program to open the file just extracts then gives a error sign. I am able to open current PDF file stored. 

      A little grammatical error     .
    When I try to download a file, the box ask what do I want to open it with.
    I selected the adobe type icon.  It's a zip program or something, it
    will unzip then gives a error message. I will have to do it to get the
    error message....        :D

  • Pdf files slow opening

    I have had this problem for a while now but when I have a current pdf file open and go to open another there is a significant delay in opening the second file, sometimes up to a minute or so.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    I have 250GB on hard drive free, running Windows XP, have 2GB of RAM, deleted temp files and tried to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Still slow.

  • Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

    Hi,
    I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
    I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
    BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
    The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
    Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

    Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
    Download and install 7.0.4.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

  • How does I resize a pdf file page using Acrobat Pro?

    In Acrobat Pro, how can one resize a pdf file page (21.38'' x 26.75'') into one measuring 6'' x 9'', to be submitted as the trim size? Is there a feature that allows this to be done? How does one set all print options from the Application print dialog box to enable one to adjust the dimensions of any customized file page?

    I want to scale the 21.4'' by 26.8'' content down to one that can be fitted inside a 6'' by 9'' book.
    I have this pdf that was created from the InkFlow app, and I'm using Acrobat Pro to merge three files into one (about 300MB), which I needed to submit to Amazon's CreateSpace, but they needed the trim size of 6'' by 9'', while the pdf is 21.4''' by 26.8'', and I can't amend the source file size of the InkFlow files.
    I tried fiddling with the Crop and Print options, but I'm unable to resize the pdf to match the trim size. The problem on my side isn't so much on printing but to resize the pdf file page to 6'' by 9'' to satisfy Amazon's requirement for their trim size. Could this be done with Acrobat Pro? The message that appears is: Full print options of Acrobat Pro, set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Thank for the help.

  • FireFox current tab loses scrolling when a .PDF file is opened in a new tab through a hyperlink

    Hey, This is Praveen!
    I have a problem in FF 4.0 and even in the previous versions wherein when I open an .PDF file (in a new tab) from a link, the current tab loses scrolling until I switch over to the newly opened tab. Kindly address this issue.
    Thank you!

    Hi NSHS,
    Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
    Hopefully this helps!
